Details - I always got weird behaviours using any JUCE Toolkit [1] application
with awesome (latest 3.4.11 and previous).
Requirements for reproducing:
Probably you need to try it by yourself first, in order to understand what I'm
talking about.
You can build the sample JuceDemo application from latest JUCE source tarball
(recommended),
or, to speed up things, you can try some precompiled application like Loomer
Aspect
(warning: Aspect is a proprietary application, but this is the only one i found
available
and pre built for bot i686 [3] and x86_64 [4]), but it will not cover all the
issues.
The issues:
.. visibility (not tiling layout)
Once a JUCE application is spawned, it goes on top as it should, but, if the
focus is moved
to some other application and the JUCE one get covered, then it is not possible
anymore get
its visibility anymore just by refocusing the window (with key bindings or
clicking on it)
unless you click on the corrispettive label on the task bar.
.. mobility
the JUCE Toolkit provides a builtin title bar that can replace the window
decorator and can
be enabled or disabled depending on application (Aspect does not let you to
disable it).
In both cases though, it is not possible move the window using the mouse
binding.
Using the builtin title bar (when enabled), instead, works as expected using
the mouse.
.. menus (an upstream design failure)
Menus are windows itself, so when using in a tiling layout, spawned menu are
treated like
windows (ex. takes half screen space). Here I simply ask for some workaround, using
specific rules derived from the captured xprop [5] output.
I tested JUCE applications on different window managers.
i3 and openbox are not affected, other tiling wm including notion and spectrwm
are affected.
Thanks.
